Speaking of preparing winter medicine...

Got a couple bunches of horehound from a nearby farmer, and picked hyssop, thyme and mullein from my own garden. It's all in the dehydrator. All of these herbs are useful for various cruddy conditions (but obs--or maybe not obs--do your own study to see if they're appropriate for your own situation).

My (first year) garden isn't giving me an abundance yet, but I'm pleased with even the small offerings. My plan is to dehydrate this small batch of plants and put them by for syrup making when I need it. I'll tincture whatever's left in early spring.

Are you growing any of your own medicine?
